Did you follow the instructions in README.win32 exactly?

Are you running the CVS version of Xastir, as it specifies in that
file?

Did you install the proper version of ImageMagick?  Several of the
more recent versions are known not to work.  A link to a working
version is listed in README.win32.

Nope.  We don't currently support ANY commercial mapping program.
So far that has worked out well.

Run the "callpass" program, then put the number generated into each
interfaces->properties dialog requiring one.
